Chapter 268 Proposal of the Crown Prince

Zhao Zhongzhen, a seemingly docile and well-behaved prince, unexpectedly left the capital without permission. This is really honest and naughty, but what everyone doesn't understand is that Zhao Zhongzhen has been walking for so long, why there is no movement in the capital at all, and it also brings death to the king.

This matter should start with the harassment of the Song Dynasty by Li Liangzuo in the Western Xia Dynasty. Although Li Liangzuo in the Western Xia has met with the king several times, as he is in power, he feels more and more that the principle of governing the country told to him by the king is right. Only when the people are rich can he be able to develop and expand the territory, but all this is with the accession of Emperor Yingzong. The situation turned sharply. Previously, Li Liangzuo wanted to send someone to take Wang's wife and children to Xixia, but when Leng Qing rushed to the capital by mistake, there happened to be a fire in the king's house, and Leng Qing only brought back the son next to the king,

This matter made Li Liangzuo feel that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he could not be washed away. Fortunately, the queen Liang Luoyao gave her advice and first kept the matter strictly secret and handed over the child to Liang Yi, who had no son, to bury him. Of course, he didn't even know that Liang Yi buried the child was the son next to the king.

Li Liangzuo heard that Wang had returned to the capital. He thought that he would come to Xixia soon, but he got the news that Wang resigned from his official position and went south. At this time, Li Liangzuo was very unhappy. He thought that all this must have been done by the new emperor of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, he increasingly felt that the Song Dynasty was not sincere in the matter of the matter of the Song Dynasty, and he also did it. It's not exciting. After a long time, Li Liangzuo's belligerent nature was revealed again. Tubo suffered a big loss, and he did not dare to fight in Liao. In addition to Liang Luoyao's encouragement, Li Liangzuo decided to compete with the Song Dynasty.

From then on, he continued to send troops to harass Jingzhou and Yuanzhou on Qinfeng Road. Although there were also soldiers here, they were mostly old, weak and disabled soldiers, and the generals were not as good at fighting. In the past few months, Li Liangzuo's troops have often won a great victory, killing and plundering tens of thousands of people and livestock in the Song Dynasty. Even so, He was still thinking that if the Song Dynasty really sent the king to fight with him, then he would strongly persuade the king to come to Xixia. However, the messengers sent by the Song Dynasty disappointed Li Liangzuo very much. It was nothing more than putting on the air of ordering Li Liangzuo to be honest. If he received the edict, how could he face the subjects of Xixia and the repeated victory? Generals,

Before the New Year was over, Song Yingzong once again issued an edict to ask Liangzuo, and warned him not to invade the territory of the Song Dynasty in the future. Li Liangzuo in the imperial palace, stood up when he heard the edict and said, "Ah, ah, ah." He said angrily, "What right does an crazy emperor have to warn me? Now he is no longer in the reign of Renzong, and even my brother-in-law does not serve him. Why should I listen to him?"

The civil servants and generals in the court of Xixia are being encouraged by constant victory. Hearing the emperor say so, "Your Majesty, I think we will send troops now. If we fight well, Shuichuan will take down Qin Fenglu of the Song Dynasty. When we defeat the Song Dynasty, we will be evenly matched with Liao."

"Yes, your emperor, as long as our soldiers step into the Central Plains, the State of Song has no power to fight back. Let's fight over with all."

Hearing the comments of the ministers, Li Liangzuo did not say anything. He became the emperor at the age of 16. He had won or lost a lot of battles. He knew that the bone of the Song Dynasty was not so easy to eat, and he was asked to send troops. One day, in case he fought with the king, he always felt a little uncomfortable. He took a look at the general. Man, the veteran Man stood there without saying a word,

"General Man, what do you think of this matter?" Li Liangzuo respected the old general who helped him to take office and fought with him in his heart,

When Manma heard Li Liangzuo's question, he sighed in his heart that the emperor was mature and was no longer the barbarian boy in those years: "Your Majesty, you can't act rashly in this matter. Although the State of Song is weak, we may not be very strong at present. What's more, the State of Liao lent troops to the State of Song. It can be seen that the alliance of Song and Liao has been determined, and the current situation is a tripod. If I, Xixia, officially attacked the State of Song, and I'm afraid that the State of Liao will be attacked by the enemy.

"The old general still looks far away. This matter is a long-term plan, but a warning edict can make me give up harassing the State of Song. That's impossible. What's the name of the messenger this time?" Li Liangzuo asked,

The Privy Councilman often stood up and said, "Go back to the emperor, this person is called Li Maoxian."

Li Liangzuo shook his robe and said, "No matter what he is first or what is after, no matter who is sent by the Song Dynasty in the future, as long as he is not next to the king, he will not see him." After saying that, he turned around and announced his retreat,

Since then, Li Liangzuo has been going his own way, which made Yingzong very annoyed. He did not think about starting an army, but now the treasury can't even pay for the army, let alone build weapons and equipment. What bothers him more is that Zhao Zhongzhen doesn't know where to go. Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu has no intention to go to bed and eat. Zhao Zhongzhen is his most The beloved child, even Queen Gao cried every time she saw Yingzong: "What if there is any mistake in the needle, what should I do?"

Song Yingzong Zhao Shu and Gao Shi are young couples, and their relationship has always been very good, but he is also extremely upset about this matter: "You know how to cry. Did you let the official post a notice that the prince is missing? Now Xixia is looking for trouble for us. If the needle falls into the hands of the Xixia people, not to mention the child's life, it is the country of the Song Dynasty. It will be broken in the hands of you and me.

Queen Gao was even more aggrieved when she heard it: "I have long asked you to set up a prince, so that Zhongzhen can live in the imperial city, and there will be no such thing as today. It's all you, which hurts the child's heart."

It's okay not to mention this matter. Yingzong is particularly annoyed when it comes to this matter: "Why, do you also think I, the emperor, have not done it for a long time?" There is no reason why he is so annoyed. Once when he had Yue Jinshi, he saw himself die on the throne dragon bed countless times. Yingzong himself also hated his disappointing body very much, especially recently. But every time he thought of this, his heart was faintly painful. Now even his queen said so, urging himself. Isn't it ominous to set up a prince? Zhao Shu said angrily with a straight face, "What's the matter with the matter of setting up a prince? Zhong Jian is still young. A few days ago, he was eager to persuade me to send troops because of the matter of Xixia. He was young and angry if he set up the prince too early. I'm afraid that he will be more arrogant. What's more, look, I just asked him a few words, and he came. It disappeared, alas."

Queen Gao gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't fight for your children, sooner or later, the throne will fall into the hands of others!" Yingzong Zhao Shu angrily pointed to the queen above the collapse and said, "You, as the queen and the mother of a country, how can you say such a thing?" At this time, the queen couldn't sit still. Every time they discussed looking for the middle needle, they checked out their ministers and maidservants. At this time, there were only two people who were angry and anxious. Queen Gao stood up and said, "Why can't I say it? The Empress Dowager can say it."

Ying Zong's angry dragon book case: "You also listen to that old woman's words, um, what did she say?"

"She didn't say anything. She just did it directly. When you were seriously ill, you broke into the empress dowager's bedroom and scolded the empress dowager. You thought these things would be calm after killing a Ren Shouzhong. The empress dowager had the idea of finding someone to replace you. Otherwise, you would have to call King Pu his father, and the empress dowager agreed so happily." Queen Gao said in one breath, and then sobbed again,

Looking at the queen's grievances, Yingzong was also distressed. He slowed down and asked, "It's a good thing for the Empress Dowager to promise me to call my biological father. I didn't even expect her to agree so happily. It seems that she still thinks that I am his adopted son, and you are her niece."

"Your Majesty, why are you confused? You are ranked thirteenth in the family, and there are twenty-eight sons of King Pu. If King Pu is his father, then before our son is appointed as the crown prince, in case there is any mistake, your brothers are all candidates to inherit the throne." The queen gritted her teeth and said,

Zhao Shu sighed: "Queen, you may think too much. I just think I'm suspicious. It turns out that your suspicion is not light." At this time, the tone of both of them eased. The queen whispered, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm suspicious. It's better for us to find the needle quickly. If we can't find it, we can only make Zhao Hao the crown prince. I once heard that when the emperor was sick and the empress dowager lowered the curtain, he privately summoned Zhao Zong, the king of Handong, if he said the situation at that time Moreover, this is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, the emperor blessed the emperor's body to recover and asked the empress dowager to withdraw the curtain. I thought, in case the emperor is not feeling well..." Speaking of this, the queen couldn't go on. The husband and wife have been married since childhood, and their feelings were very deep. Even Zhao Shu became the emperor, and there was no more harem. Of course, the queen did not want to I hope there is something wrong with the emperor Zhao Shu, but I can't say these words,

Zhao Shu was also shocked to hear this: "Why didn't the queen say such a big thing earlier, and no one told me about it?"

The queen was surprised: "Since the emperor issued a decree to kill Ren Shouzhong, who dares to say more about things in the palace in front of the emperor? If it hadn't been for the empress dowager's so happily agreed to the discussion, I wouldn't have thought of this section."

Zhao Shu was in a cold sweat. It turned out that the Empress Dowager Cao had long wanted to find someone to replace her. If she said that others could still talk, she could be a joke, but Zhao Zongqin, the king of Handong, was different. He was a brother of Yingzong Zhao Shu, both of whom were born in the main room of King Pu. If he had not set up his own children as the crown prince, Zhao Zongqin was the best person. Choose, "Oh, fortunately, the queen thought of such an important thing."

The queen sighed: "Your emperor, the matter of establishing the crown prince is to prepare for a rainy day. I think you still summon your inner minister Chen Chengli. He knows best when the queen sees Zhao Zongxun."

Chen Chengli is the eunuch foreman in the Queen's Hall. At this time, he was in his room, drinking tea while listening to the little eunuch Yang Jian tell him interesting things in the palace. Every day when the little eunuchs are together, everything that happens in the palace will spread quickly. The little eunuch Yang Jian hangs his legs to Chen Chengli while saying that the emperor scolded the emperor a few days ago. Chen Chengli listened to the matter of the son and said, "If this King Ying will be the prince, it will not be easy to serve."

The little eunuch Yang asked puzzledly, "Master, why do you say that?" Although Yang Jian, a little eunuch, is usually the most domineering in front of children of his age in the palace, but in front of his master Chen Chengli, he is very clever,

Before Chen Chengli had time to speak, he heard the emperor's call. Since Ren Shouzhong, the emperor Song Yingzong Zhao Shu rarely called the eunuch, which made Chen Chengli a little uneasy. Fortunately, the emperor just asked the empress dowager about Zhao Zongmeng. Chen Chengli wanted to tell the truth that nothing happened, but it was his good fortune. Since then on, After that, the emperor and the queen would ask him if they had something to do. Gradually, Chen Chengli became the eunuch favored by the emperor and the queen, followed by the little eunuch, Yang Jian,
